Evening Ladies Draw

The Draw League is on Wednesday evenings from 7pm - 9pm. This is a less competitive night of curling and a great way to start curling at the Granite. Teams are created from registered individuals. New teams are drawn 3 times per season.

Evening Ladies Fixed

The Fixed League runs on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5pm - 7pm. We have 16 teams in two divisions. The A-division runs on Thursdays at 5pm and the B-division runs on Tuesdays at 5pm. Teams in this division have a fixed roster throughout the season. At the end of each round, teams are reordered based on the points earned throughout the round. The top two teams in B-division move up to A-division and the bottom two teams in A-division move down to B-division. Contact our president for more information at [email protected].

Evening Men's Draw

The draw runs 8 teams chosen from 32 individuals. This event is run on Wednesday nights starting at 9 PM. A more social event, this is a great place to curl at the Granite. There are 3 rounds during the season with a 4 team playoff at the end of each round. Teams are drafted by the skips of the round assuring that you get to play with many different people. The top 2 thirds are promoted to being skips and the bottom 2 skips return to the draft pool for the following round. An end of year banquet is held in conjunction with the Men's Fixed when prizes are handed out to the teams playing in the finals of each round.

Evening Men's Fixed

The fixed runs 32 teams in four divisions. The A & B divisions play on Tuesday night and the C & D divisions are on Thursday. Teams have a fixed roster throughout the season. Teams are reordered twice a year allowing improving teams to move up the ranks. Top 2 teams advance and bottom 2 teams are relegated. A four team playoff is held at the end of the 3rd round with a banquet held immediately after the finals.

Monday Open Fixed

The Monday Open Fixed league is semi-competitive league open to any combination of adult (over 16) curlers of any gender that form a team.

The league is made up of three divisions (Green, Gold and Granite) of eight teams. At the end of each round robin, the two lowest ranking teams in divisions Green and Gold drop down respectively to Gold and Granite divisions. The two highest ranking teams in divisions Gold and Granite move up respectively to Green and Gold divisions.

Eight end or time limit games are played at 5pm, 7pm or 9pm on Monday nights. (Game times change each week as the three divisions rotate through each time slot.).

Trophies are awarded to the Champions of each division at the year-end Monday Night Open Fixed Banquet. Divisional Champion and runner-up are determined by a single knockout two round playoff with the top 4 teams in each division.

Trophies and prizes are covered by the league through each team providing $40 to go towards trophy maintenance and prizes for the champions and runners-up.

Sunday Open Fixed

The Sunday Open is a friendly recreational league with a mix of novice and more experienced teams. The league ladder has two divisions (“A” and “B”), with the bottom two “A” teams moving to “B” and the top two “B” teams moving to “A” between each round.

LOOKING FOR PLAYERS TO JOIN WEDNESDAY OPEN - 2017-18 SEASON

We have a couple of openings for teams in the Wednesday Open.

If you're interested or you want information about the league, please contact [email protected]

The league was set up with an open fixed format. Each team may contain any combination of men and women. Each team is established at the beginning of the year and remains consistent through the entire season. Team members may change positions from one game to the next if they like.

This league was new for the 2011-12 season. It was started as the response to existing club members requesting more options to play in the evening. Another key goal for this leagues was to provide more league options to recent "graduates" of our Rookies Rock programs.

Weekend Mixed

The Weekend Mixed is a league open to men and women where each team is comprised of two men and two women. Games are played Friday and Saturday evenings - rotating between Friday and Saturday. The standard time slots for the Weekend Mixed are Friday 7:00pm, Friday 9:00pm and Saturday 6:00pm. Games rotate between the three time slots. Members do know their schedule a full round in advance - so they can make weekend plans.

The league is currently made up of three divisions - A, B and C. The C division is suitable for beginners and provides a fairly relaxed, social environment; while the A division is more competitive.

Weekend Mixed currently has openings for several teams. If you are interested in learning more about the Weekend Mixed and/or in joining the Weekend Mixed, please send an e-mail to the above address. No team? No problem. We can help pair you up with other curlers looking for a team.
